A numerical study of interannual wind forcing effects on the California Current System, 1980-1983

A high resolution, multi-level, primitive equation ocean model is used to examine the response of an idealized, flat-bottomed, eastern boundary oceanic regime on a beta-plane to climatological average (1980-1989) and individual yearly (1980-1983) wind forcing. The focus of this study is the Californ...
